You know, ...Ooh, this is a really interesting post. You know, I'm not really sure whatI I've read that has been translated into English because I've never really looked it up--but I'm sure that it's more than I realized. I absolutely ADORED the Diary of Anne Frank. I read it for school years ago, and it was such a moving story. When reading translated fiction I do wonder about what has changed in order for it to fit the English language, so that's a really good point you bring up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-47465965977808109912015-04-10T20:16:58.398+10:002015-04-10T20:16:58.398+10:00I just read As White as Snow which was Finnish! I ...I just read As White as Snow which was Finnish! I also loved Inkheart (German) and The Shamer's Daughter (Danish). But it does make me wonder what happens with messages/themes are lost in translation. Like, how do we even know if they ARE lost?! Gah. It's complex. I don't even translators.

H...A love for mine is translated fiction, actually. Have fun with Kundera, he's a favourite of mine! And Murakami always has my heart. Thing with the classics is you can actually choose your translation so get picky with the one you get...makes a difference. The metaphors are translated more fluidly, just something to keep in mind.
